Who's speaking?

Adam Blenford (@adamblenford) is EMEA managing editor for digital news at Bloomberg, working across Bloomberg's news site as well social channels, apps and new formats. His team recently launched a daily Brexit newsletter and bagged the distinctive @Brexit handle on Twitter.

Jon Keegan (@jonkeegan), Visual Editor, Features at the Wall Street Journal - joining us via video call from NYCJon will talk about WSJ's Blue Feed, Red Feed, which tackles the question of Facebook being an echo chamber, with users seeing news aligned with their own political leanings. Blue Feed, Red Feed offers a side-by-side look at two Facebook news feeds, one that shows content sources favoured by very liberal Facebook users, the other from sources favoured by very conservative Facebook users

Benjamin Zand (@BenjaminZand) is the editor of BBC Pop Up and will be talking about how to take a small innovation format mainstream
